We are Coalville Ramblers - a friendly group based in the heart of the National Forest. We offer a programme of 3 walks each week, from 5 miles to 10 plus.
This linear walk between Leicester Space Centre (please see important information below regarding parking at the start) and Enderby Park and Ride links Leicester’s varied riverside green spaces. We will visit Abbey Park, created in 1882 as a Victorian pleasure park, Bede Park a modern green space created in the 1990’s from the regeneration of Bede Island industrial estate and Castle Gardens, created in 1926, formally used as allotments. The final part of the walk is along the Great Central Way, route of the former Great Central Railway.
